About this map

Yellow Dog Wild and Scenic River defines the northern reaches of this landscape, carving through the Yellow Dog Plains toward the dramatic Yellow Dog Falls. The terrain is a complex hydrologic network where the Dead River Headwater and numerous remote basins like Bulldog Lake and Lake Margaret sit within the protected boundaries of the Ottawa National Forest and the McCormick Wilderness.

Tracing the path of the North Country National Scenic Trl reveals the transition from the high-elevation wetlands of Mulligan Swamp to the headwaters of Voelkers Creek. The scarcity of named roads—limited largely to Triple A Rd and Ford Rd—underscores the isolation of these interior forests. For those studying the geography of the Upper Peninsula, the map documents the pristine state of the West Branch Yellow Dog River and the small, scattered lakes like Section Thirteen Lake and Little Dishno Lake.
